Tips For Make Up Beginners Edition

I used to struggle with make up and I still do but here are a few tips for make up beginners which I believe will help us all!Here are some things I've learnt in the quest for achieving a presentable face courtesy of make up.

Get a brush set even if it's a cheap synthetic one. You may not get the same finished look but that will get the job going.

Watch youtube videos: doesn't matter if the make up isn't for beginners. The basics are the same for the individual you are watching. He/She layers her products in a particular way so watching any of her/his videos still gives you the routine. All you need to do is pay attention to***the pre application stage: what the person uses on the skin eg primer, moisturizer, milk of magnesia. These are crucial in protecting your skin.*** the foundation application process and blending. She might also use a concealer or a base before full application.*** the eye shadow application process.Each person has a unique technique yet you can have a general idea as to what to steps to take to create your own style.

Get your basic products even if they are knock offs. I still have cheap versions for practice.

Practice before shower, at home,

Get a make up wipe or remover- very cheap to get.

Don't aim too high; you don't have to rush the process. It took time for your favourite make up artist to master her routine.

Have a skin regimen so you don't create clogged pores with the foundation and other products.

Even though I'm getting better at creating basic looks, I don't think I will stress myself all the time to wear make up. The basic is enough to get me through the day Lol

Thank you for the tips! I suppose the key is practice, practice and more practice. I would like my make up to look simple and on fleek - even attended a make up course earlier on this year but I must practicing what I learnt has been almost non existent. I really must sit up and spend more time with you tube make up videos.

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride.I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own.

When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and clea…

Description
Parsley belongs to the Umbelliferae family of plants with the Latin name Petroselinum crispum. The two most popular types of parsley are curly parsley and Italian flat leaf parsley. The Italian variety has a more fragrant and less bitter taste than the curly variety. There is also another type of parsley known as turnip-rooted (or Hamburg) that is cultivated for its roots, which resemble salsify and burdock.

Relaxed hair care seems to be one complicated journey but when you get the hang of it, you'll be so relieved. Why does relaxed hair get thin easily? A case in point is my own struggles with thin relaxed hair. The few lessons I've kept in my pocket this time around are :

1. Trim regularly. Have a schedule to get rid of the thin ends. I plan to trim every touch up. That's approximately every 12 weeks. I've learnt from so many setbacks that I'm bent on getting it right this time.

2. Longer stretches. A major problem I've had for the past two years and not going beyond 6 weeks. That thinned my hair out like crazy. This time, regardless of the short length, I'm surely going for nothing below 12 weeks. The ultimate stretching is 16 weeks so 12 weeks is a good starting point. There are some who advised starting off gradually with 8 weeks but that's what set me back. You get comfortable with the 8 weeks and moving beyond that it's a challenge. Therefore, 1…

I guess you are also as curious as some readers who want to know what happened after taking the liquid vitamins.

Well, nothing spectacular happened! I didn't feel nauseous whatsoever. In fact, it was the most delicious supplement I've ever tasted.

Today, I'll take it around 5pm and will keep at the same time each day.

My Hair
It's been 2 weeks since my big chop and although the hair looks thin, there's certainly an improvement over the past few weeks. I expect these vitamins to thicken up the empty patches Lol.

Hi my empresses,
For those who've been with me from day one, you'll share in my joy as you read this post since I'm sharing with you 11 places to purchase (natural) hair products.
Back then in 2010,2011, it was hard finding hair products for naturals. That was another factor in my failed first natural hair journey.

When you are determined like me to grow the hair out to fill in the Bald Spot, you can imagine the excitement of seeing a bottle of this Curls blueberry bliss liquid vitamins!!

The bottle goes for 110gh and you can get one by calling or whatsapp 0502417454 to order.
I'll be taking this from now till end of February and another bottle to make up for the 30 days. I'm still uncertain about how my body will fare with it it I'm hoping for good growth or even thickness.

I've noticed my growth has slowed down drastically since I went off the hair vitamins although thickness seems to be good.
